obama and mr. boehner to avoid the debt limit being violated and having america's credit undermined. that is when it was brought up because it was republican policy, and that was part of a compromise, which it ended up being. 222 republicans voted today, 96% of the caucus, to go home, to go home for a week without a way to turn off the sequester. they are once again walking away from the american people. you may remember when unemployment insurance was at risk, i said they were walking away from 6 million people. they walked away from middle- class tax cuts. i assume that when they say this, in advertising their adjournment resolution, they called it "rules resolution prohibiting democratic grandstanding on the house floor." not only that and not put mr. van hollen's bill on the floor two weeks ago, not put it on the floor this week, they will not even open the floor to discussion to the representatives of the american people. i assume that grandstanding they are referring to is when we demanded th

that's certainly not a position that president obama or then senator obama subscribed to. it's obviously not a position that senator hagel believes was the right one. and the fact that there's a disagreement over that, i think we can all pause it. what i can tell you is that the president believes that senator hagel will make an excellent secretary of defense and that he will be confirmed. and he looks forward to working with senator hagel in that position as we continue to advance our national security priorities. >> a topic that came up yesterday, today's jobs data showed the unemployment rate rising to 7.9%. it's hovered in that range for a number of months. to be sure the economy created jobs but it's at a relatively modest pace. we had a report recently of a contraction in the nation's output in the fourth quarter of last year. increasingly you have people like laura tyson writing columns calling for the need for a plan for faster growth, not deficit reduction. what is the president -- i know you've talked about how all the president's plans envision job creation, but
